Even without these odd happenings, normal Pretty Cure live shows still don’t really live up to the magic of the anime, to me at least.
In one scene Cure Black, an OG of the Pretty Cure scene, gets shoved off the ridiculously tiny stage and then mockingly waved to by relative newcomers Cure Melody and Cure Rhythm.
During the live shows I sometimes glance over at my little girls and wonder, “Are they really buying all this?”
As the parent of young girls in Japan I often attend live shows based on the animated world of Pretty Cure, in which teams of magically enhanced teens do battle with the powers of evil.
